If this article had been just about an average Lava phone, we doubt anyone would have given it much of a thought. But as it is, the mobile market changes its shades dramatically and continues to surprise and excite us. After so many fireworks from brands like Huawei, should our domestic brands stay behind?
Totally not, proves Lava by forging a partnership with the big daddy of all processor manufacturers – Intel. From the very start I noticed that the Xolo X900 does not, in any way belong only to Lava; it is product of a partnership with Intel, which is a huge step ahead for Lava.
